Try checking your PHP version serverside, upgrade it if you can. Sometimes it can disappear in action and your PHP version will return nil or not installed. If they upgraded the server your site is on shit can happen.

Also HG has a great tech support, try opening a chat and ticket with a techie from their home page.

Also I'd check the file permissions serverside of all your forum files. If one of those got borked from a crappy mod it'll throw errors. In this scenario your files havn't gone anywhere or been corrupted, rather the server is preventing access from the index.php script to the database backend.

Jamie did rile up the boys at Aussie Q somewhat Richo, long story short the forum is on Proboards and the guy who created it is not by his own admission very IT literate. I suggested get the forum re-done on SMF, by Jamie. What Jamie did was create Southern Thunder and it was not to their liking so they stayed put. Then a few did join, there were some cross words as Jamie's famous temper got the better of him and they most all left. Then ST went down and Jamie is waiting for the dust to settle a bit.

I've been on AQ for a while and am an admin - nice bunch of bbq fanatics, a bit strait-laced but know what they are doing.

When ST comes back up some may join, depends if the content interests them then, whereas if the original plan had worked all the content of AQ would have been moved over and AQ put into stasis.

I really don't see that happening now but it may in time, as the saying goes what we had was a serious ability to communicate

hey fellas, I'm the owner of AussieCue, First up, I Liked Jamie and was gutted at his passing. Our ideas just didn't gel for a new forum and try as I did, The members would not take to it. But to Jamie's credit, after all his work of making "His forum" , He still stuck around my pissy cooking forum. And I got to like him.

Kiwi, It was me that banned you but only in the first instance. I honestly thought you were just a kid making trouble while on school holidays. Had No Idea who you were and my understanding At the time , as well as my requirement with Jamie was that ST was to be G rated. Not because I'm a prude but purely a pre planned forum type that I had envisaged. So I'm sorry about that.The communication was crazy and it was obvious Jamie realy wanted his own cooking forum and I respected that and stayed on as a non moderator and gave links back to my forum . But the fellas just didn't like it, It was too seppo. One comment from a gun cook was, " If I want to join a yank forum I will, But I want an Aussie forum". he was my best cook so I had to just close the idea down and hope that, In time my new mate Jamie would see it and maybe we could go again. And then he died

If you've read the whole thread Mick then you just saw the mirror image of what we grappled with from the AQ/ST side back then, you also received a bit of an intro to the dudes and saw the side of our mate Jamie that pretty much caused the issue.

He was one heck of a good friend to us all, thinking back it was actually me who introduced him around, but I always did think that a course in lion taming was not a bad idea if you planned to "negotiate" with him

You may have also noticed that oil pressure cooking was discussed - that's your thing in the pursuit of perfect DIY KFC if you wanted to expand I think the guys would be interested.

You don't have to worry about them being responsible, there are members here who think playing with pure sodium and a reservoir in the depths of night is fun

Hmm, I wouldn't advocate anyone doing it. There are multiple things one must do to have it in a semblance of safe zone.

Things like;The right pressure cooker The right pressure blowout system, In new condition.The right top hob (no flame)The right level of oil only an inch and a half at the bottom of a large pot.Knowing how to control the temp and adjust the hob at the right timeKnowing what the pressure is at all times

TO my knolege, there are only two pressure cookers that are made for pressure frying. One made by maGafesta and one by Fagor. None are available in OZ. I don't do it very often .Last time would be a year ago or when I was showing off in that post. The post also didn't show the welders PPE I was wearing. At the time I was determined to copy the original pre mid eightys original flavour and was part of the kfc forum that spent ten years trying. They came up with it alright. I learned about the dangers of pressure frying there. Once I nailed it I lost interest and moved on. Too dangerous

Last I heard Mick the Fagor was going to be available in Oz, that was a conversation I overheard in our local Kitchen Warehouse so may or may not be correct - the guy asking was on a similar quest for original KFC at home
